Yes, on the cheap, why not? He can still serve the purpose and possibly produce some game changing plays during the course of the year. Ten million per year, nine million per year or even 8 million per year, definitely not, seven, six or five million per year you can maybe make a case, under five million per year, definitely, IMO.

Wallace has cost himself many millions by not accepting the likely 50 million the Steelers were willing to give him before the season. He has looked selfish, played half hearted, and has even looked like his hands are suspect. The Steelers might offer him 5-6 million per...I can see no more being offered. He won't be a Steeler next season.

I don't believe it's true that Wallace has cost himself millions. Wallace has a proven track record. He's continued to show big play ability this season. Big play ability is why teams would pay Wallace. All it takes is one team to pony up the cash. Contract negotiations are not going to come down to the money per year. NFL players never make X amount of dollars per year.

Everyone here follows the NFL. We all know some knucklehed owner is going to shell out HUGE $$ for Mr Wallace. Someone will be enamored with his speed and overlook the other issues and drive the dump truck loaded with cash up to his house. The Steelers will make what they believe is a competitive offer and let him walk if he thinks it's not good enough. I'm ok with that. I trust the front office to make the right decision based on salary cap, other players they need to sign, and working with guys who want to play in the black and gold. I'm not going to worry about next year Wallace for one second.

If Wally thinks about next year Wally for a second, it might change the way this year Wally is playing.
